Courvoisier cel of Mickey Mouse Mickey holds his hat in hand as he explains to the King how he killed seven flies with one blow. The King however, due to courtly gossip, thinks that the Brave Little Tailor has killed seven giants with one blow and decrees that Mickey is the Royal Giant Killer! This beautiful Courvoisier cel is an excellent example of a pre-Fantasia Mickey Mouse. This is evident in the fact that Mickey’s eyes are solid black rather than white with black pupils as he appeared from Fantasia forward. The goal of the redesign was to give Mickey a more expressive face; however, this cel does an excellent job showing Mickey’s nervous emotions. The artwork measures 7" x 6.5" while the frame measures 17.5" x 16.5". There is a slight amount of paint mottling in the character, visible only upon close examination. US$ 5900 (framed). WDCCS59 |

Courvoisier cel of Donald Duck Did you know that Donald's full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck? Well, it is, and this is an excellent example of this moody duck with his 'hands' on his hips, his mouth slightly open and his eyes ever-so-slightly squinted in classic Donald consternation. The art measures 7" x 7.5". There is some glue residue from the cel which can be seen as the cel has separated slightly from the background. Still in great condition for a vintage cel and we do not recommend restoration unless to move the cel back into position. The character size is 5.75" h x 4.75" w. US$ 1200 (unframed). WDCCS16 |

(1938)
Courvoisier cel of Ferdinand the Bull Loveable, mild mannered Ferdinand is showcased in the gorgeous Courvoisier cel.

This piece is coming from the gallery owner's private collection.

A bullfighter encounters the worst thing that could ever happen in his career: a bull who would not fight back!

Courvoisier cel of Wynken and Blynken This is the most spectacular Courvoisier from Wynken, Blynken and Nod that we have seen. This cartoon is special for many reasons, but especially because it represents one of the earliest uses of the multiplane camera which added depth of focus and a new unexpected dimension to the dreamlike quality of this film. The cel shows three little boys sailing through the evening sky in a wooden clog, fishing for twinkly yellow stars. The background is painted in opulent shades of blue and green on a wood veneer panel, while the three boys, their boat and the stars have been classically trimmed to figure in the Courvoisier style. Even the effects cel depicting the milky cosmos wake has been preserved in this ensemble. At the end of the cartoon, the viewer is made aware that the boys and their adventures in the night sky, are the subjects of a dream that one little boy is having while sleeping peacefully in his cradle. This cel would pair beautifully with the cel that we are also featuring of that cute sleeping boy, WDCMT2. The cel measures 10" x 12.5". The 'Star Fish' have separated from the background. Still in great condition for a vintage cel and we do not recommend restoration unless to move the cel back into position.
